Your slacking professional stand up comic video is givng my slacking amateur cooking vlog a complex! Seriously though - I LOVED this. I wasn't at BlogHer - so it was the first time I've seen you "in person." And I won't hold the fact that you mocked my rainbow tramp stamp against you.

Tiny Tart, great handle. May work if you want to be a Japanese porn star. Very entertaining stuff and impressive you can swing stand up. I think all of us are suffering from a lack of initiative at the end of the summer. Now is not the time for getting things done.

Holy crap! I knew you were a funny writer and suspected you'd be hilarious in person, but this is amazing!

I didn't know you do stand up. That takes so much courage...and you're really good at it. Your material is great, especially the moms with tattoos bit, the gay hubby joke and the Secret life insurance check. I admire you so much for taking it onstage and delivering it so well.

I'm intimidated now. I may never be able to comment again, knowing you're even that much more funny than I am.

For some reason I messed up something and I never get any notice of my comments so I often see them way too late. I really want to write about my comedy audition but since I thought you never came by the blog, I forgot about it. I will absolutely write it up tommorow.

Thanks for your kind word about my blogs. I need to seperate them because my gay man, gay woman, and just plain woman are all showing up as Tarra Slovan. Wierd conundrum.

Love your blog, terrific writing, and wishing you the best of luck in comedyland.

Trying to steal some me time by watching your hilarious standup post with earphones, so my kid will keep playing her Leapfrog computer and not interrupt. Efforts thwarted because you're too damn funny and I was laughing out loud.
